A Hollywood makeup artist who has worked on films such as “Rebel Moon,” the “Mean Girls” reboot and “Babylon” was allegedly stabbed 20 times by her ex-boyfriend at a Los Angeles home.
Allie Shehorn, 35, is recovering in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital following the May 23 attack, her friends wrote in a GoFundMe page. CW affiliate KTLA reported the ex-boyfriend broke into her home on May 23 and allegedly stabbed her before fleeing. Shehorn had reportedly obtained a restraining order against him not long before the stabbing.
Christine White, who has served as a mother-like figure to Shehorn, said she was in the home during the violent incident.
“I found her and I had to go into the bedroom where it happened,” she told KTLA. “That wasn’t a pretty sight.”
Shehorn was reportedly slashed in the neck, arms and across her abdomen. One of the organizers of the GoFundMe, Jed Dornoff, said White saved Shehorn’s life.
“She is very brave and acted fast when she found Allie bleeding out,” Dornoff wrote.
Dornoff said the ex-boyfriend was arrested in Texas while trying to cross the border into Mexico.
According to her Internet Movie Database page, Shehorn has done makeup in more than 70 released films and over 20 upcoming movies. While she remains in the ICU after undergoing at least three surgeries, her condition is improving as she is starting to eat food on her own and can speak, friends said.
“Allie is a remarkable person, full of warmth, kindness, and love. No one deserves to endure such a traumatic experience, especially someone as compassionate and caring as Allie,” wrote Emily MacDonald, another organizer of the GoFundMe which has raised about $75,000.
Dornoff said Shehorn met the man accused of stabbing her on the set of the Zach Snyder-directed “Rebel Moon.” He said it was a surprise to him that the ex-boyfriend would turn violent.
“This person was a part of a lot of people’s life and seemed stable. I was there from the beginning when they met on the film set of REBEL MOON to many dinners and outings to when he asked her out and so on,” Dornoff wrote.
